Chapter 41 Something Happened to My Sister
Even stealing an old lady's pants is so shameless!
The old ladies in Dayu Village were all worried because they also liked to sew pockets on their trousers to store their money.
Who would have thought that there would be a thief stealing underwear in the village.
The village chief summoned everyone to the threshing ground. Upon hearing the news, he nearly laughed out loud: "Whoever took it? Return it immediately. You're so shameless and willing to do anything. Let me be frank, if I catch anyone doing such a wicked thing, I'll make sure the whole village see your face!"
After warning everyone, he left.
Someone asked Grandma Lu, "Do you think you might have remembered it wrongly?"
Grandma Lu's eyes were almost swollen from crying. The two hundred yuan she had saved over the years was all in there. Now it's all gone. It's really unacceptable!
"No, I check it every day," said Grandma Lu. It's a valuable item, so I check it at least once a day.
Aunt Lu next to her was also cursing, "Damn it, who is so wicked? He deserves a horrible death." She had to scold the thief severely, so that old lady Diao would not suspect her again.
Lu Zhaodi felt a little uncomfortable.
The aunts around asked, "Have you been home all day?"
Lu Zhaodi said, "I went out to sell vegetable dumplings and just came back." She picked one for herself first.
Lu Xiang was the first to go out and sell the goods. Lu Zhaodi also went out. Some people wanted to ask if the goods would sell, but they were embarrassed to ask in front of Mrs. Lu, who had lost her money and was crying bitterly.
Aunt Lu and Uncle Lu were both working in the fields, while Old Lady Lu was busy in the front yard. She was so angry: "Unless the money ran away on its own, how could it just disappear like that?" This was really weird.
Everyone laughed and laughed. No one joined Old Lady Lu in cursing. Since she was home all day, it was impossible for outsiders to take away the things hidden in the house!
Everyone looked at Aunt Lu and Uncle Lu with a strange look in their eyes.
Few people suspected Lu Zhaodi.
Lu Zhaodi rolled the money into her sleeves, so no one would notice. She said a few words of comfort. She looked up to find Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui, but they were gone.
In the Fu family's courtyard, Third Sister Fu was heard saying, "I never knew Mrs. Lu was quite wealthy. She gave all her wealth to the thieves for nothing."
"Yes, it's over 200 yuan. I can't tell."
Several people were talking while working.
The quantity of braised duck today is greater than yesterday.
Mrs. Fu tried to please Lu Xiang by saying, "I don't know how lucky our fourth son is to have found a beautiful girl named Xiangxiang as his wife. She's also a good cook."
Lu Xiang said, "I feel embarrassed by your praise."
Mrs. Fu watched the third daughter-in-law constantly praising Lu Xiang, and she was not willing to be outdone. She said, "Of course, our Xiangxiang is much better than that Lu Zhaodi!"
Speaking of Lu Zhaodi, she was a little puzzled. "Although she wasn't pretty before, she was a lively young lady. I don't know what's wrong with her now. Now when I look at her, I always feel like there's something calculating in her eyes."
Now, seeing Lu Zhaodi's eyes rolling around, I inexplicably dislike her. How could she become like this at such a young age?
Recently they have made some money from Lu Xiang and have been trying their best to curry favor with her.
Lu Xiang didn't say much. From a distance, she saw Sister Hong coming over and said, "Xiangxiang, you should go home soon. Something happened to your eldest sister!"
When Lu Xiang heard this, she immediately went outside.
Mrs. Fu San was smart. She quickly pushed Fu Qinhui and said, "Fourth Brother, you should follow and watch. Family members always support each other. We can't suffer any loss."
Fu Qinhui followed immediately.
Third Sister Fu craned her neck to look around. She loved to join in the fun, but she still had a lot of work to do. She turned to Sister Hong, who had come over, and asked, "Xiao Hong, what's going on at the Fourth Brother's wife's house?" She remembered that her eldest sister had married in another village.
Sister Hong said, "Don't mention it. Her elder sister Lu Ping was beaten so badly that there was no good left on her body." Although the people in this place are tough and no one goes against their teeth, it is still rare to be beaten like this.
When the sisters-in-law heard this, they all cursed Lu Xiang's brother-in-law as a beast.
…
When Lu Xiang rushed home, she heard her mother Lu crying from afar.
Lu Xiang was the youngest daughter. After she married, the old couple was left at home. Of the other daughters, Lu Xiang was the only one left in the village. There was a falling out at the Lu family mansion, and now that something was wrong, they didn't know who to turn to for help. They had no other choice but to turn to Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang walked into the room and saw her eldest sister, Lu Ping, who was 32 years old, but half her hair was already white. Her face was bruised, and her eyes were so red and swollen that she could barely open them. Her body was covered in bloody marks from being whipped with a belt. She had brought her five-year-old daughter with her, and even the child bore marks of beatings.
"Mom, what's wrong with my elder sister?" Lu Xiang took a breath after seeing this.
Father Lu said, "It was that beast Xue Shengli who beat her up." He was breathing heavily as he spoke. He was a man who had been honest all his life. Seeing his daughter being bullied like this, he wanted to fight with his eldest son-in-law.
Father Lu was nearly going crazy with rage, and Mother Lu was crying her heart out, but no one seemed to be taking charge. Lu Xiang said, "Qinhui, bring our tricycle over here. Let's take our eldest sister to the clinic to have her wound treated."
Mother Lu finally seemed to react and began to cry and look for money. Lu Xiang picked up her little niece as well. The little girl was five years old, but she felt so light. Lu Xiang felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Soon Fu Qinhui brought a tricycle and they began to carry the person to the clinic.
After explaining the situation, the doctor at the clinic rushed to try to save him. Lu Xiang and her mother, the women in the family, helped to open the clothes, revealing layers of wounds, new and old. Even the experienced female doctor cursed at the sight.
The doctor at the clinic pried open Lu Ping's eyelids and shone a small electric prod into his eyes, but he didn't respond. The doctor said, "Go to the county hospital immediately. We can't treat him."
Hearing the doctor's nervous words, the Lu family did not dare to neglect it. Fortunately, they had a tricycle. Fu Qinhui drove the tricycle as fast as he could. Lu Xiang and the others trotted along, arrived at the county hospital, and went directly to the emergency room.
Lu Xiang asked someone to check on her niece as well. The child only had superficial injuries, but was also severely malnourished.
Lu Xiang bought a bottle of glucose from the hospital and opened it for the little one to drink. Lu Xiang asked her niece, "What's your name?" Her eldest sister had married and moved to another village, and they hadn't been in touch since. Even though she was her niece, this was the first time Lu Xiang had met her.
"Bitch Xue." The little guy's voice was small.
Lu Xiang thought she had misheard. She asked again. After confirming she had heard clearly, a surge of anger rose in her.
